moderate to heavy rain Wednesday afternoon into the evening
before colder air returns to eastern New York and western New
England. Mild temperatures will allow for at least some snow
melt which will further add to the run off. There is also a
chance of thunderstorms with downpours across some of the
watch area. Isolated flash flooding and minor to moderate
flooding of main stem rivers may occur. Total rainfall before
a transition to snowfall Thursday morning will be one and a
half to three inches in the watch area.
